If I had to take a car, the Zonda. Would rather the cash though. Babysitting one of those cars, eh, who has the time or effort. These owners really do not live and die over their cars, they are as expendable as the cheap migrant workers their nation's wealth is built upon.

Haha, they just went to an exotic car meet and snapped an entire line of cars. Lazy and so typical of the British tabloids.

That SLR, though. Damn!

Lol @ the 458 being one of the reasons why London has the most valuable supercars. Hell, I saw one of those in Calgary already.

In Calgary you would remember a 458, like a first kiss. In London these super cars are as regular as the name Li (Lee), Wang, Zhang, Liu, Chen, Yang, Huang, Zhao, Zhou, Wu, Xu, Sun, Zhu, Ma, Hu, Guo, Ln, He, Gao, Liang, Zheng, Luo, Song, Xie, Tang, Han, Cao, Xu, Deng, Xiao in a Chinese phone book.

Uhh, guess you haven't been on beyond much. People see Ferraris all the time, and no one really makes "SPOTTED" post of these cuz they are all that common.

Point lost, so it would seem. The point is, you remember the first time you saw and heard an exotic car. Living in the right areas of London, regular shit all day long. Think I bat an eye at the Lambo or Bentley that I see everyday in the summer... could not give a toss.

I can make a short film to show this in a visual medium if required. Can add subtitles as well, maybe a hearing dude in the corner fucking around with her hands spelling out words and shit.

Dropped like a rock to 89 after I asked a couple of real questions of a seller in the marketplace. Tried twice to contact a Mod to discuss it, useless doing that, they never reply from their high rock. Just reform under a new name and identity, it would be the first time, oh yeah unknown here on Beyond.

Yeah, Ferraris with arabic plates are all over London.

I was there in mid July and these cars are the only ones I bothered taking the camera out for. The red Alfa Romeo is a super rare car here in Calgary. I am glad it got in the shot!

I think he's pretty much backing up my statement anyways. In Calgary, they're rarer cars, I've only seen one so far. But they're hardly ultra rare, only that they've been out for less then a year. In London however, they shouldn't be one of the reasons that make London better then any other city in the world for cars. The 458 is a "peasant" supercar imo. Go to any city with tons of rich people like Dubai, LA, Montecarlo, Paris, Moscow, etc and you'll see just as many 458. It shouldn't be a car that goes on the best, most rare cars list. Now if it was a 599 GTO, that would be different.

Don't worry, they'll be high-tailing it for the airport, ditching them with the keys in them, and flying away in no time. :rofl:

Gawdy paint, would still drive.

I saw a white on black 599 with Arab plates in London last month, too bad I couldnt take out my camera fast enough.
